Penn State Williamsport Center

Penn State Williamsport Center

Penn State will close the Williamsport Continuing Education Center on June 30, 2014. The decision to close this location, located at 1020 Commerce Park Drive in the Water Tower Square complex, was based on decreasing enrollment and declining revenue.

Bringing a Penn State education close to home for adults in the Williamsport area is the goal of the Penn State Williamsport Center’s new community awareness initiative. The center is partnering with area organizations to increase awareness of and access to Penn State education programs.

Penn State Continuing Education Williamsport Center and James V. Brown Library are partnering on a new initiative designed to increase awareness of the educational opportunities available to adults in the Williamsport area. As part of the partnership, the Williamsport Center now has a weekly presence in Brown Library from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Wednesdays, and Information Sessions for adults are planned for January and February.

More central Pennsylvania adults are enrolled in Penn State Continuing Education at University Park (CEUP) programs this spring semester than in spring 2011. CEUP is reporting a 12 percent increase to 583 students at its learning centers at University Park campus and in Lewistown and Williamsport.
